Main Plot: In 1865, as the American Civil War neared its inevitable end, President Abraham Lincoln attempted to pass a major constitutional amendment that would permanently outlaw slavery in the United States. His work was a race against time, however, because peace could come at any moment, and if it went before the amendment was passed, the returning Southern states would stop it before it could take effect. Lincoln had to get enough votes from a demoralized Congress by any means necessary before peace was achieved before it was too late. However, the president is torn, and an early vacation could save thousands of lives. As the nation wrestles with its conscience for the freedom of its entire population, Lincoln is faced with a crisis of conscience – end slavery or the war.

Washington Sentinels owner Edward O’Neill called his former coach, Jimmy McGuinty, to ask him to coach the Sentinels’ bench for the rest of the season, adding that a three-game winning streak would come in the final four games to serve in the Sentinel playoffs. The condition McGuinty agreed to was that he could sign the players he wanted without O’Neill’s interference. McGuinty is assembling players of various talents who he believes could build a winning team. At quarterback, McGuinty selected Shane Falco, a former Ohio State All-American whose career was torn apart after the Sugar Bowl loss. He now lives on a houseboat in Washington, DC, and makes a living doing hull maintenance on his private yacht.
